Dome and Basilica of San Gaudenzio
The Basilica of San Gaudenzio is an important place of Catholic worship in the city of Novara, in Piedmont, famous for its dome, 121 meters high, which becomes 126 if we also consider the statue of the Savior placed on the top, the work of Alessandro Antonelli. It has the dignity of a minor basilica.[1] Excluding the dome of St. Peter´s Basilica in the Vatican, which reaches 136 meters, the dome of San Gaudenzio is the highest in the Italian peninsula[2] and the second highest in Europe[unsourced].
